IMPROVEMENT IN SUMMER-*STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 161,612, dated April 6,1875; application filed November 28, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH HAwKs, of the city of Troy, county ofRensselaer and State of New York, have invented a Summer Attachment forStoves, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to certain improvements in stoves of the classknown as stoveattachments used in connection with ordinary cook-stoves.

My invention has for its object to produce a cheap, convenient, andefficient attachment for cook-stoves to be used during the summer months5 and to this end my invention consists in the combination, with a stovein which the bodyis constructed with an imperforate bottom and providedwith a draft-opening, of a drum and a smoke-pipe which is connected withthe stove-pipe ordinarily employed. The said drum rises from the body ofthe stove and is made with a flat top surface, in order that it may beemployed as a shelf on which to placearticles to be heated.

Prior to my invention, a shelf or hot-air chamber having a flat top hasbeen mounted upon the stove-pipe extending from the stove, and, inanother instance, an outward swell has been imparted to the top plate ofan ordinary stove, said swell being of conoidal form, from the apex ofwhich extended the stove-pipe. Such do not exhibit the features andpurposes of my invention, which, as it is apparent, consists inproviding a stove having an imperforate body and draft-opening with ahot-air chamber rising from the top plate of a stove, and having a fiattop for receiving and supporting dishes and other articles, from theside of which chamber extends the pipe-collar or stove-pipe.

In the accompanying drawings the figure the top portion of the body ofthe stove rises a hot-air drum, which opens into the fire-box of thestove, said drum being constructed with a flat top surface, upon whicharticles may be placed in order to heat the same, or to preserve them ina heated condition. The draft or smoke escape-pipe D projects from thedram and is adapted to be connected with the ordinary stove-pipe.

The stove, as above described, is designed to be used upon the usualcooking-stove, in order to form a small stove for use during the summermonths, but it is evident that it can be used in any desired position.

What I claim is- The combination, in a stove in which the body isconstructed with an imperforate bottom and provided with adraft-opening, of the hot-air drum 0 and pipe D, the said drum risingfrom the body of the stove and constructed with a flat top adapted toform a heating-shelf, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I havehereto subscribed my name.

ELIZABETH HAWKS.
